Cabbages

Disclaimer: We don't own Avatar, if we did, the cabbage merchant would be the main character.
"I'm here to offer her ladyship the finest cabbages in the Earth Kingdom," the humble middle-aged merchant said, bowing his head slightly. He was in the Bei Fong estate, to sell cabbages to one of the richest families in the Earth Kingdom. The wife of Lao Bei Fong was there to talk with him.
Lady Bei Fong looked down at the merchant from her throne. "Show me your finest."
The cabbage merchant brought out the most perfect cabbage ever. Lady Bei Fong inspected it unimpressed.
"Does it suit her ladyship?"
"It is truly a marvelous cabbage," Toph's mother stated. Gesturing, she continued, "But the cabbages I have, have been used so little."
The cabbage merchant ignored her gestures, smiled wearily, afraid he'd lose a good sale. "Perhaps her ladyship should mention that problem for her ladyship's cook."
"Oh, this isn't the kind of problem a cook can solve," she said, looking at the cabbage merchant lustfully.
