Answers:
I think you may be referring to a red envelope (hong bao) tied to a head of lettuce or other fruit/vegetable.
From Wikipedia:
"During the Chinese New Year, lion dancers from martial art school will visit the store front of businesses to "choy chang" (lit. picking the greens). The business would tie a red envelope filled with money to a head of lettuce and hang it high above the front door. The lion will approach the lettuce like a curious cat, consume the lettuce and spit out the leaves but not the money. The lion dance is supposed to bring good luck and fortune to the business and the dancers receive the money as reward. The tradition becomes a mutual transaction."
