Quoting%20commentary for Moed Katan 2:5

מְחַפִּין אֶת הַקְּצִיעוֹת בְּקַשׁ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף מְעַבִּין. מוֹכְרֵי פֵרוֹת, כְּסוּת וְכֵלִים, מוֹכְרִים בְּצִנְעָה לְצֹרֶךְ הַמּוֹעֵד. הַצַּיָּדִין וְהַדָּשׁוֹשׁוֹת וְהַגָּרוֹסוֹת, עוֹשִׂין בְּצִנְעָה לְצֹרֶךְ הַמּוֹעֵד. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, הֵם הֶחְמִירוּ עַל עַצְמָן:

Figs [spread out in the field to dry] may be covered with straw [against the rain]. R. Yehudah says: They may also be piled, one (layer) atop the other and made a kind of mound, so that the top ones protect those beneath.] Sellers of fruits, sheets, and vessels may sell "discreetly" for purposes of the festival. Hunters, grain-crushers [those who crush wheat for grits], and grist-makers [those who make bean-grist] may work "discreetly" for purposes of the festival. R. Yossi said: They were stringent with themselves [and did not work even "discreetly." The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yossi.]
