Out of rice for vegetable sushi

[Random Asshole]

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and researched a dish that had rice in it, leaving me with 0 on the day that the rapper VIP is back for the vegetable sushi quest. My rice paddy says its going to take a day for the next batch to come in, and I can't currently buy rice, although for some reason I can buy onions and beans even though I've never grown those. Is there a way to speed up my rice paddy's growth rate (fertilizer gets unlocked AFTER this quest, lol) or unlock the option to buy rice before the day is over, or am I just screwed?

The exact same situation happened to me yesterday. Unfortunately, that quest is pretty much failed at this point.

But it doesn't really matter, since you don't lose anything and the VIP will call you again in a few days. He'll ask for the same dish again, so failing it is no big deal (at least, that's how it went for me).

Now remember to save up some rice for when he returns!

Well, at least it isn't a one-time thing. Thanks for the info!
