In ancient times, coarse tea was coarse tea, and light rice mainly refers to rice without salt taste. Poor food mainly refers to people who are poor and can't eat good tea and rice. In ancient times, poor people's families were poor, unable to afford salt and tasteless, so today "poor food" means poverty.

I remember my grandfather told me that they were poor at that time, and there was basically no salt at home. Generally speaking, all rice is eaten in boiled water with sugar. I've seen grandpa eat like that. I think it tastes terrible, but he can eat. Perhaps for those who have suffered, life is really good now. Compared with rough tea leaves and tasteless meals, a bowl of rice soaked in sugar water is enough.

Coarse tea should be compared with new tea. Coarse tea is bitter and unpalatable, new tea is naturally fresher, and the feeling of entrance is very different. Our family also has that kind of old tea, which is not good-looking or delicious after a long time. New tea is light green, and you can really feel what you want when you make tea.

In my opinion, plain rice refers to some vegetarian dishes, because it means that the poor can't eat salt, so they can only eat some vegetarian dishes, such as vegetables and tofu. In my opinion, the natural standard of poverty in ancient times must be these vegetarian dishes, and there is no good tea, so rough tea and light rice should refer to these things. In ancient times, the poor lagged behind others in food, because at that time, people only cared about food, so the poor food was enough to describe the situation of the poor at that time.
