I became a star boss by farming

Chapter 18 Meniscus Lenses

With the help of Chen Yi and Zhao Wen, the process of building the vegetable greenhouse was very fast.

The three of them made a lot of noise and built the greenhouse in two days.

After the greenhouse was built, they turned the soil again and again to ensure that the soil was loose and airy for the growth of potato tubers.

Mu Qiao gave Chen Yi and Zhao Wen each a knife, and told them how to cut potatoes, making sure that each piece had 2-3 sprouts.

The three of them cut up a large bag of potatoes and mixed the plant ash and potato tubers evenly.

Chen Yi and Zhao Wen were a little puzzled, why did Mu Qiao mix the ashes from the bottom of the stove with these potato pieces.

"Mu Qiao, why do you put them together, can they be planted in this way?"

"Of course, I've tried many times."

After hearing Mu Qiao's words, Chen Yi and Zhao Wen nodded suspiciously.

Knowing that they didn't believe it, Mu Qiao told them about the benefits of plant ash.

"Don't believe it, this plant ash is very effective."

"First, it can sterilize, prevent diseases and repel insects. If we mix it with potatoes, we don't have to worry about the potato pieces being eaten by insects."

"Secondly, it can absorb moisture. If we water too much, the plant ash will absorb the excess water and prevent the potato pieces from rotting. If there is a place in the house that is too humid, you can also sprinkle some plant ash to dehumidify."

"Thirdly, it can be used as fertilizer. The land here is too barren, so we can sprinkle some plant ash on the ground to make the crops grow stronger. When you two plant crops again, you can also sprinkle some plant ash on the ground."

"Fourth, sprinkle it on potato cubes to increase germination."

Chen Yi and Zhao Wen's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe that the ashes left by the pot could be used for so much.

"Is it true that Mu Qiao has so many benefits? My family always piles the ashes from the stove in the yard."

"So is our family!"

"Of course, the crops we grow are all pitted and gnawed by insects. If you sprinkle plant ash, there will definitely be very few insect pests in the field in the future."

With Mu Qiao's words as a reassurance, Chen Yi and Zhao Wen stood up and walked around with excited faces, and even lifted Mu Qiao up and down in the air.

"Hahaha... Mu Qiao, you are too powerful! Those bugs eat up half of the crops every season, now there is a way to cure them!"

"Put me down quickly, I'm a little dizzy."

Chen Yi and Zhao Wen hurriedly put Mu Qiao down. Mu Qiao couldn't stand still and almost sat on the ground. He staggered a few steps and grabbed Zhao Wencai to stabilize himself.

The two of them were too scary, hissing, and dizzy.

After mixing the potato pieces with plant ash, Mu Qiao and the three of them put the potato pieces in pots and went into the greenhouse to plant them.

The soil is already soft, and they just need to press lightly to plant two-thirds of the potato cubes into the soil, with the bud point facing up.

A big bag of potato cubes doesn't look like much. Muqiao and his team planted potato tubers in the greenhouse, sprinkled them with water, and looked back, but there were still a third of the potato cubes that hadn't been planted.

"What should I do? There are not enough greenhouses, and we still have several bags of potatoes that have not been planted."

"Besides, it's kind of dark in this greenhouse. Can these potatoes grow without sunlight?"

Uh... In other words, the three of them thought this matter too simply.

Mu Qiao looked at the remaining materials for building the greenhouse in the yard, and at the greenhouse that immediately became pitch black without the solar lights, and had an idea in his mind.

"It's okay, there are still materials. Chen Yi, you two use the remaining wood to make a shelf, and I will make a board that can hold soil and grow potatoes."

After Mu Qiao told them the usefulness of the shelf, he went out to the garbage dump.

When meeting other people on the road, Mu Qiao nodded to them politely.

This is like a tribal society in a backward period. If you don't have a good relationship with them, you have to get along with them on the surface.

Mu Qiao stayed in the garbage dump all afternoon, pulling a cart full of iron plates and some glass.

As it was getting dark, there were few people wandering in the street, and Mu Qiao's house was relatively remote, and Mu Qiao only met a few people from a distance while pushing the cart.

Chen Yi and Zhao Wen were surprised when Mu Qiao pushed a cart of things into the house.

It's okay not to be surprised, they all thought that something happened to Mu Qiao, but now Mu Qiao came back with a cart full of things.

When Mu Qiao left, he was obviously empty-handed? !

"Mu Qiao, you, you are too good, you can make a car in one afternoon."

"It's not that powerful. If you can't move things back, you can make a car."

Mu Qiao carefully removed the glass from the car, and when he looked up, he saw the wooden frame in the yard. He touched it and found that it was very strong.

"You are also amazing, the wooden frame is so strong."

Mu Qiao also praised the two of them generously. Chen Yi and Zhao Wen were very happy, but they were very humble.

"How can there be, how can there be, hehe."

Occasionally flattering each other, making each other happy and getting closer, why not do it.

"You guys stay and eat today, it's getting dark, go after dinner."

"Okay! The two of us want to eat your cooking too. Before it's completely dark, let's do it for a while."

Chen Yi and the others moved the four wooden frames they made into the shed, filled the iron plates made of wooden trees with soil, planted potatoes, sprinkled water, and placed them on the wooden frames.

A wooden frame has eight tiers, and they filled two tiers after planting the remaining potato cubes.

After finishing the potatoes, Muqiao went to cook. I wanted Chen Yi and the others to sit aside and have a rest, but they were so enthusiastic that they insisted on cutting the potatoes.

When Mu Qiao was ready to cook, they had already cut two bags of potatoes, and they had to cut another bag, Mu Qiao quickly stopped them.

"Eat, eat quickly. The work is endless, and we will continue to do it tomorrow."

While eating, Chen Yi looked around strangely, but he didn't see Bai Tuanzi.

"Hey, why didn't you see Bai Tuanzi? Mu Qiao, your Bai Tuanzi hasn't come back yet, do you want to look for it?"

"No, it will be back in a while, let's eat first."

Chen saw that Mu Qiao was not in a hurry, so he didn't say anything about looking for Bai Tuanzi.

Mu Qiao was also a little anxious, but Chen Yi and the others were here, so it was hard for him to find Bai Tuanzi.

Mu Qiao sent Chen Yi and Zhao Wen away, turned around, put on the lamp and hurried out.

Don't Bai Tuanzi be eaten by wild beasts in the forest? !

Mu Qiao found the forest all the way, but he didn't find Bai Tuanzi, so he searched carefully again when he returned, shouting back and forth four times while walking.

Finally, Mu Qiao found Baituanzi near the door of the house. It was pushing a big ball towards home, with a small basket hanging behind its head.

When Mu Qiao saw it, he became angry instantly, stepped forward and grabbed Bai Tuanzi and held it up in front of his eyes.

I have worked so hard to find it for so long, but this guy didn't know to reply when he heard the voice.

"Bai Tuanzi, didn't you hear me calling you? Huh? I've been looking for you a few times on this road, and you don't know that 'ah woo' gives me a sound!"

"Ah~"

"Who told you to call now?"

Mu Qiao was very upset, the person who raised him was anxious to come out to look for it, but this guy didn't know how to go home after dark, so he was still in the mood to make a fuss? !

Lan Zeruoxi expressed her innocence, and when she heard Mu Qiao calling her, she quickly replied.

Who knew that Mu Qiao's ears were bad, and his voice became hoarse when he yelled, but Mu Qiao didn't hear it.

He went to chase Mu Qiao by himself, but who knew that Mu Qiao ran faster and faster, and he ran to the point of dying but did not catch up.

Looking back and forth looking at Mu Qiao for four times, Mu Qiao finally found himself in the fifth time.

Mu Qiao lost his temper and felt much more comfortable.

He squatted down and wanted to pick up the ball, but he didn't move. In the end, Mu Qiao pushed the ball with his feet and walked home.

Lan Zeruoxi was exhausted pushing the ball out of the forest, so she jumped onto Mu Qiao and lay on Mu Qiao's shoulder, no matter how much Ren Mu Qiao handled it, she couldn't get it off.

When he got home, Mu Qiao checked the big ball carefully and found that it turned out to be a coconut.

coconut? !

Don't coconuts grow by the sea?How did it appear here?

Mu Qiao couldn't figure it out, and finally attributed this strange thing to the strangeness of the forest and one of the magical mysteries of nature.

Mu Qiao hugged the coconut, it was very heavy, weighing fifty to sixty catties.

Mu Qiao knocked on the coconut shell, the sound was very clear, but it was difficult to break the shell with a knife, it was much harder than the coconut shell of the last days.

Lan Zeruoxi was speechless when he saw Mu Qiao touching and knocking on the big ball, looking like he couldn't put it down.

When I saw something good, I brought it back to Mu Qiao with good intentions and painstaking efforts. Why did Mu Qiao make a fuss every time?

The bananas last time and the coconuts this time are all like this.

Lan Zeruoxi had never seen a coconut before. When she saw this big ball in the forest and found water in it, she pushed it all the way back thinking it should be drinkable.

But the big ball was too heavy, and it was twice as big as me, so it took me a lot of effort to push it.

Mu Qiao never noticed that Bai Tuanzi was in a bad mood, until he opened the door of the den before going to bed, and Bai Tuanzi turned around immediately facing his body, and Mu Qiao didn't realize it.

"Bai Tuanzi, don't be angry, I shouldn't yell at you today."

"But you don't have to bring things back all day. When I have time, I will make toys for you to play with and make you some delicious food."

How could Mu Qiao know that Lan Ze Ruoxi brought it back for him specially, that coconut, Lan Ze Ruoxi can break open with a light stroke of her fingernail.

If Lan Zeruoxi wants to eat it, he can just finish it in the forest, and there is no need to bring it back.

As for toys, Lan Zeruoxi has already passed the empire's 16-year-old adult age line, so how could she want toys.

The next day, Lan Zeruoxi didn't go out, but lay on the chair to watch Mu Qiao and the three of them work.

Lan Zeruoxi went in and took a look at that greenhouse. It was well built, but the temperature was not as high as expected, and there was no sunlight yet.

The shelf is very high, and the surface temperature can make the potatoes in the ground grow, but what if the potatoes on the shelf do not have a suitable growth temperature?

Lan Zeruoxi was curious about how Mu Qiao would solve these problems.

When Chen Yi and the others came in the morning, Mu Qiao assigned them tasks.

Chen Yi and Zhao Wen continued to grow potatoes, and Mu Qiao wanted to use glass as a concave-convex mirror.

Convex lenses converge light, while concave lenses diverge light.

The wood tree should use the concave-convex mirror to introduce light into the greenhouse to provide conditions for the growth of potatoes.

When Lan Zeruoxi saw Mu Qiao take out the glass, he thought about what Mu Qiao was going to do, but he was very curious about how Mu Qiao was going to make it.

Mu Qiao was working on the concave lens, ignored the behavior of Bai Tuanzi jumping on his shoulder, and continued to polish the glass in his hand.

Mu Qiao made a lot of concave and convex lenses, and said that they should rely on them to bring sunlight into the greenhouse, but Chen Yi and Zhao Wen didn't believe it at all.

The fact is very embarrassing, the sun shines through the small holes, and the originally dark greenhouse instantly brightens.

Chen Yi and Zhao Wen were dumbfounded, everything was like a dream.

"Mu...Mu Qiao, you, how did you do it?"

Although there is sunlight outside, why does the sunlight come into the shed through the small holes?

Those holes are not big, the size of two fingers.

It wasn't just these things that surprised people. Zhao Wen put his hands under the thin light, and felt his palms warm after a while.

"Mu Qiao, you are really amazing!"

"Mu Qiao, I really admire you! How did your brain grow?!"

"It's amazing!"

"..."

Zhao Wen has said these compliments more than once these days, and Mu Qiao is probably tired of hearing them.

But... Zhao Wen didn't know what to say other than praise and praise.

Mu Qiao installed concave lenses and convex lenses alternately to ensure that the light from the concave lens is projected on the wall, and the light from the convex lens is scattered around.

Mu Qiao was a little uncomfortable being praised by Zhao Wen and Chen Yi, and waved them to stop.

"You guys are too exaggerated, I can't stand it anymore."

"Mu Qiao, you are really amazing! If you have time, you can also help me decorate it in the room? My room has no windows, and it is cold all day long."

According to the degree to which Zhao Wen's father didn't like Zhao Wen, Mu Qiao was not surprised that the room Zhao Wen lived in was like this.

"Okay, I'll go to your house tomorrow to help you settle down."

"That's really good!"
