Starting Situation

Eight o'clock on a Monday morning, the sound of shutters rolling up spreads one after another down the market alley. Just as the lettuce and green onions settle into place on your vegetable stall's display, the toasty smell of sesame oil drifts over first from the oil mill across the alley. Ethan Chen, who took over the mill from his father six months ago, walks over carrying a paper bag, his smartphone tucked into his apron pocket. Inside the bag are a bottle of freshly pressed sesame oil and, folded up, a proposal for the merchants' association: "Joint Delivery & Online Orders." Rumor already has it that half the market elders never even unfolded that paper. Midway through bowing in front of your display, he notices that the grandma from the second floor, who drags her shopping cart over at this time every week, still hasn't shown up today.
