These people recognized Er Gouzi. The dog had been by the boss's side on the first day he boarded the ship.
Once she realized this was the boss's dog, the female server in charge of dishing out food couldn't very well deny Er Gouzi a meal. She was just a bit speechless when she saw the fellow holding a stainless steel plate—the kind the crew used—in his mouth.
After a moment's thought, she reached into a cabinet below and pulled out a large stainless steel bowl. She then unhesitatingly filled it to the brim with food for Er Gouzi, placed it in front of him, and patted his head, saying:
"Alright, from now on, this will be your personal dish."
The moment Er Gouzi saw the food, his eyes gleamed with a hungry green light. He couldn't care less what the server was saying and immediately buried his head in the stainless steel bowl, gobbling it down.
