people to old age, afraid of loneliness. "When I was 50 years old, I was thinking of getting a wine cellar for myself, and about 35 old friends had a little wine together. That's what I yearn for most." Pointing to a row of wine cellars in the basement and a wine altar filled with wine, Zhou Pingyi's face, which lives in Changsha County's back mountain town, has recently been satisfied. Now, the wine drinkers who come to his house to taste wine, talk about wine and drink wine are in an endless stream, and he is overjoyed by the elderly life of wine lovers. In
10, individuals strive for "not bad money"
simple dress, plain language. Zhou Ping, who was called "local tyrant" by local villagers, gave him the impression of "understatement" at the moment. Zhou Ping, 61 years old, is a local farmer who has stayed home for only a year and a half since his family was poor. He helped to do farm work. In 1989, in the tide of reform and opening up, Zhou Ping, who was not comfortable with the situation, put down his work in his hand, and set up a prefabricated field and made a cement product in the local area.
"at that time, the countryside was electrified everywhere, requiring a large number of poles and ready products to sell well." Joining the individual army soon let Zhou Ping taste the sweetness, and in his own words, "earn a little money", such a self-employed person worked for 10 years. "In 2000 that year, I spent 1 million 100 thousand yuan to build a house." In getting rich, Zhou Ping became one of the first groups to have a house in the country. In a stable rural life, his family's life was "not bad money".

rich rural life, and did not let Zhou Pingan in the status quo. In 2003, after some consideration, an old age project started quietly in his own house. He started digging the basement in his house for the wine cellar.
"I like to drink. Dig the cellar in the basement of the house, cellar the wine, and then attract many wine lovers, so old, there are many friends and lively. Zhou Ping planned his old life early. Previously, he spent six months in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places to study and learn all kinds of techniques for brewing yellow rice wine, and consult relevant experts. "Yellow rice wine is relatively low alcohol, and it is one of the three oldest wine species in the world. It is a special product of our country." Zhou Ping chose his own idea to choose rice wine. After more than a year's excavation, a more than 300 square meter basement of Zhou Ping's house was formed, and cellar wine was started. Over the past 11 years, about five or six meters deep in Zhou Ping's basement has been expanded, and now has reached 1200 square meters, and has hundreds of wine cellars and several large storage rooms, and the size of the wine circle has reached more than a thousand.
the cellar in basement is like a maze of
what is the wine cellar under the mansion? Under the leadership of Zhou Ping, the reporter came to see his home. On the first floor, through the fermentation room full of wine tanks, enter an electric open door. "This is the earth elevator I made myself. The elevator goes down to the basement and you can see the cellar." Zhou Ping walks along and says.

Like a labyrinth.
"there are large and small thousand altar rice wine in this area, with more than 150 tons and the longest time for 7 years. They are bought from Sichuan. They are very easy to use. " Between words, Zhou Ping is filled with a sense of achievement.
