The scattering part is what people look forward to the most.
Just as the singing described, the carpenter began to throw candy, peanuts, and other snacks from the roof.
On the ground, adults, children, young, old, practically everyone was jostling together to grab candies.
The scene was very lively.
Ni Yang prepared over fifty pounds of candy, plus cookies, peanuts, and the likes, weighing around seventy to eighty pounds. So, practically everyone was able to get some.
During this era, a typical family would prepare four or five pounds of candy at most for a rafter raising ceremony. There were none as generous as Ni Yang.
So everyone was extraordinarily happy while grabbing candies.
Everyone could grab some; even the old woman who was hard on her feet managed to grab a whole bag.
After the rafter raising ceremony ended, it was time to eat.
The lunch was splendid, with large bowls of Braised Pork, succulent roasted lamb legs, and savory Beef Stew Noodles...
