    Oh good, I’m glad someone else is asking this question. The whole story hinges on it, and it doesn’t make sense.

      • I thought the story there was the sauce producer wanted to diversify who he was buying from so if his friend the pepper grower had a bad harvest, he could still produce some sauce. Said pepper grower became quite irate that his former friend didn’t trust him enough to rely on his harvest alone. Is that not what happened?

        Oh I didn’t for one second think it was a true story. But it is a fun story that, with the exception of this one massive glaring hole, reads really well. Which just makes the one plot hole stand out even more.
