The Mushroom Forager's Revenge

The Story

A daughter-in-law dismisses a pot of mushroom broth, claiming it smells earthy, and drains the liquid down the sink while her husband watches silently. The elder returns to Greenstone Gully, unaware that the entire county relies on her exclusive supply for local dining establishments. Her daughter-in-law later labels her a freeloader, only to discover the city's wealthiest resident waiting in line for the goods. The specific broth they discarded is now unobtainable, leaving them unable to possess it even if they beg for it.
