Hmm, I have to say, this is a truly wonderful misunderstanding!
To maintain order, Master Lv and others stood high up on the roof, and as soon as Master Lv declared, "Toss the beam towards the east, and the morning sun fills the hall with red," workers at his side began the "beam-tossing" with bags filled with candies, peanuts, copper coins, and steamed buns.
People below were in high spirits, scrambling for peanuts and copper coins that fell to the ground. Steamed buns and candies were wrapped in paper and tied up tightly, so there was no need to worry about them getting dirty.
The items used for "beam-tossing" were just ordinary things, not worth much money. The Mo Family had prepared a lot of them, all in baskets. As these baskets of goodies were scattered, almost everyone's pockets were filled with a good amount.
