(ECNS) - Michael Kraus may be known among his clients for automotive know-how, but for residents in Changchun city of North China's Jilin province, he is better known for his tasty sausages.

As an automotive engineer, Kraus frequently travels internationally, and selling sausages is a hobby that he just can't resist.

The 49-year-old German sold homemade sausages on Guilin Road last year and is now selling them near a subway station, the local New Culture Newspaper reports.

He is also offering sauces, liquor and beer at the booth that he rented for free.

Kraus met his wife Tai Yuxia, with whom he shares his love of making and eating sausages, in a restaurant in 2008.
